KR South Korean president declares emergency martial law, accusing opposition of anti-state activities

Article | Archive

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law,” Tuesday accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with North Korea and paralyzing the government with anti-state activities.

Yoon made the announcement during a televised briefing. He declared the step as critical for defending the country’s constitutional order. It wasn’t immediately clear how the steps would affect the country’s governance and democracy.

Yoon since taking office in 2022 had struggled to push his agendas against an opposition-controlled parliament.

I hope the SK police shoot this lady, not because she's reporting on the counter protesters but because she is a Washington Post journalist.

Were there Japs? I only recall two Korean dudes that got drafted after going on a forced world tour as jap conscripts, then Russian conscripts and then they "joined" the SS and got captured by the Americans at D.Day

Japanese SS and Wehrmacht were mostly attached for journalism, consultation and other non-combat roles.

I secretly hope for civil war in South Korea. I don't want anyone to get hurt, but it would be super funny.

I also hope he becomes a dictator.

Same except it's because of the counter protests.

Well, yes, but that's only a coincidence. What I really want is 3 countries on the peninsula. NK, SK and SSK. Or, alternatively, NK, Middle Korea and South Korea.

Best Korea is Hovering in Mid-Air Korea

Or Undersea Kingdom Korea

Maybe Hollow Earth Korea

Maybe Hollow Earth Korea

They have dinosaurs and sasquatches so I'm going to have to award them the Bestest Korea.

 

[Male Idiot]

Kim will have Best Korea.
Yoon will have Mid Korea.
Under that there will be feminist Worst Korea.

Shit, this is gonna be the theory of the coup on the left. They need to really do this or else things are gonna get so much worse.

 

[Rei is Shit.]

I NEED an SK riot queen with no brains

Yoon is doing everything not to be impeached. It's quite concerning for the military in a democratic country to maintain martial law when the majority of the assembly from both parties denounced it and voted to end it.

Hahhahah! South Korea is as much an oligarchy as Russia, only with big industrial conglomerates instead of oil barons

It was just the opposition party and the other parties voting, there's nothing to indicate he got stabbed in the back by his own party.

No looting? No vandalism? No twerking? WTF Korea?

They are gooks, but not niggers.

 

[PotBuster]

WTF is going on.
God decided to play Hearts of Iron for the first time and picked South Korea?

 

[mindlessobserver]

So have we gone from "It's happening" to "nothing ever happens" in a few hours? Why is everything from South Korea a cheaper and more boring knock off of things other countries do better? Even their coups are boring.

 

[Cronarch]

A brave American journalist has been arrested by South Korean soldiers for allegedly "spreading North Korea propaganda". We are all praying for his safety.

Considering the trigger pullers in modern countries all range from 18-20, not a single one of them can remember a time in their life when anime wasn't a thing.

This isn't even a uniquely Asian thing. The Taliban were tossing dakimakuras out of the US barracks in Kabul and there's been a couple body pillows spotted on tanks in Ukraine.

ATTENTION ALL KOREAN GOOKS:

Internal documents leaked to the press confirm the orchestrator of the coup is none other than Liz Fong-Jones. If you see said person, prepare for confrontation.

You mean a Consent Accident?
